![]() What would you say is the most memorable day in October? If this isn’t your birthday month, judging by the fact that you’re currently reading “Tarot Tips,” my guess would be Halloween/Samhain. But did you know that October 31st is also National Knock-Knock Jokes Day? No? What about National Doorbell Day? National Magic Day seems a bit more appropriate, but it’s likely to have more to do with rabbits, hats and playing cards than tarot cards. I think National Divination Day should definitely be added to the list! Better yet, make it Divination Month. Why not? It can be right up there with Cookie Month, Computer Learning Month and Sarcastic Month. (Yes, that last one is a real thing — you can look it up!) Even if it’s not on any official list, we can still celebrate. Here’s to a month of delightful divination! This is what we have for you this issue... Are you experiencing lots of dreams during this time? Dreams have become a hot topic during the pandemic. The frequency and subject matter of current dreams for many of us seems to result from this new way of living and existing. Dream interpretation has always been of interest for its prophetic aspect, and tarot makes a great companion if you are looking to explore your dreams more deeply. That's the topic of this month's Tarot Tip. As the end of October comes, some believe that the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds thin. What a great time for The Diviner’s Corner to provide an introduction to the phenomenon of channeling! And Best Practice for Professionals offers strategies to avoid clients who are no-shows. Tarot has recently made an unexpected appearance in *two* financial publications! #1) The Financial Times published an article entitled “Don’t weird out, mysticism is in,” featuring a respectful segment on tarot, as well as discussing astrology, sound healing, and more. https://on.ft.com/3i3ukGa #2) We are honored that CEOWORLD Magazine has included the Tarot School Correspondence Course in their list of Best Tarot Cards Reading Courses in The World!

INTERPRET YOUR DREAMS
WITH TAROT ![]() The meaning of dreams has always been a fascinating mystery. These inner visions present us with perspectives and experiences totally different from those of daily consciousness. Revered as messages from spiritual guides or our own inner voices, these symbolic “movies” originate in our deepest self, and have become very meaningful over time. And so the art of dream interpretation was born. Using archetypal imagery and symbols, dream interpretation has helped to alert us to future possibilities, and they also help us to understand our emotional tendencies. Dream symbols, much like tarot, need an understanding of basic keys. Symbols used in dream interpretation are categorized into groups such as the animal kingdom, people and places, leisure activities, and other human experiences. Dream meanings are elusive and are easily lost upon waking, so it is helpful to keep a dream journal by your bedside. Dream interpretation can enhance any tarot reading or vice versa. Here are a few suggestions on how to use tarot for dream interpretation. • Key Symbols Find a dream book that contains meanings which resonate with you, since not all authors agree on what the dream symbols mean. Of course, you can compile your own collection of meanings from symbols you already understand. It is best to use a deck with simplified, uncomplicated imagery. Dreams are often very heavy with images, scenery and activities, much like movies or theatrical performances. You’ll want to use a deck that won’t overload or overwhelm you with too many symbols to interpret. • Dream Interpretation To the best of your ability, using a journal with your key symbols, write out an overview of the themes present in the dream. Is it a recurring dream? How did you feel upon waking? Once you have completed your dream analysis, shuffle your deck and draw cards, laying them out in the following spread positions: #1 Time Period Does your dream take place in the past, present or future? #2 People Family member, former love interest, stranger, non-humans #3 Place Home, building, outdoors #4 Activity Dining, shopping, sex, etc. These four areas along with the cards drawn will provide insight into what the dream suggests. For instance, if your dream was set in the 18th century, you may be dealing with nostalgic feelings or old, worn out perspectives. Then, say your grandmother appears in the dream and the Empress is in the “people” position. This suggests your views about parenting or perhaps how you are a caretaker of others. As you build your tarot interpretation coupled with the symbols of the dream, a story will unfold. Something may click that shows you the underlying current of your situation. In some cases your dream could be a warning, or a confirmation of being on the right path in decisions you’ll come to make.

VIRTUAL TAROT SALONS ![]() Until the past few months, we have had a 25-year tradition of gathering together on Monday nights, teaching our ever-evolving understanding of tarot. For much of that time, we held classes in Manhattan. But after Hurricane Sandy, we began hosting Tarot Salons in our home instead. However, having in-person classes meant that only people who lived nearby could attend on a regular basis. We have dearly missed being in the same room with our students, but are taking recent events as an opportunity to open the doors to you, no matter where you live, by holding our Tarot Salons over Zoom! We’re still working out the details because we want to give this our very best, but you can sign up for the email notification list now. We’ll be in touch soon! ![]() we're holding the Tarot Salons! http://tarot.salon Diviner's Corner CHANNELING ![]() Channelers are believed to have special gifts that allow contact with spirit guides and disembodied entities. Their purpose is to bring messages from the supernatural realm. The implications of the information shared can range from very personal to universal. Channeling involves a shift in consciousness, which does not mean that the practitioner is out of their awareness. Nor does it mean that the person channeling gives up control of his or her thoughts or physical body. During channeling, typically a guide (often known to the channeler) makes contact through an enhanced frequency. The information from this frequency flows through the soul level and into consciousness through oral or written communication. Channeling can also happen during the dream state at night while sleeping. It is important to distinguish channeling from mediumship, in that mediums are specifically in contact with those who have previously been incarnated on earth, such as dearly departed loved ones. The process of channeling gives access to a wealth of insight and information. Anyone can learn to channel. Most people who gravitate toward the practice of channeling are interested in occult topics, psychology and mysticism. Those who regularly channel acknowledge greater self-awareness, increased personal power and spiritual evolvement. Resource: What is Channeling?

Best Practices for Professional Readers AVOID BEING "GHOSTED" BY CLIENTS By Gina Thies www.tarotadvisor.com / www.facebook.com/tarotreaders www.tarotcoupling.com / www.oraclesoup.org Life happens. Things come up. Schedule changes are par for the course when dealing with people. As professionals, a huge part of what clients look for in us is integrity and trust. One of the banes of appointment setting for me was and remains accommodating my time for clients, and then having them not show for an appointment without a word, call or email. Gone and ghosted. Ghost, not referring to the kind associated with haunting, has become a term used to described people who are seemingly interested and suddenly disappear without warning or reason. In the dating scene, it means to be suddenly dumped. It’s unsettling, rude and quite challenging to respond to when you don’t know the cause. I understand why for years doctors and other scheduling professionals have implemented no-show and cancellation policies. Aside from the worry of not knowing if something terrible has happened to a person, you would want the common courtesy of knowing they weren't keeping their appointment so that the time could be used for something or someone else. Here are some suggestions on how to reduce the chance of being ghosted: Pre-Payment. This is a no brainer. Would you not show up for something you’ve already invested in? Alternately you can require a small deposit at the time of scheduling. No refund policy. This complements the first suggestion but informs your customers of what to expect from your services. Agreement to cancel with a 24 hour or more notice. You may let it slide the first time but do let repeat offenders, if they show up again, know what you require and the consequences if they don’t. One follow-up call or email. Follow up on an appointment booking with a call to confirm, or set up an automatic message or email that confirms the appointment.
